CAMPING IN JULY 2022

 FINTRY PROVINCIAL PARK

A wonderfully warm five days camping at this gem of a park just an hour from home.

Fintry Park has a long history as a historical site with barns and a manor house

Our front row camp site on the west bank of Okanagan Lake.

A hike of over 300 stairs leads to Shorts Creek Falls which I have hiked to in previous years. This time I could only manage a short climb taking us up to see the Mariposa Lily, which I added to my botanical sketchbook.

Our alone time was beautiful, filled with swimming, kayaking, reading, playing Scrabble and Mexican Rummy, sketching, and forever taking in the amazing scenic view with all sorts of boat activity and the joyful sounds of families playing in the lake.

Of course food always tastes so much better outdoors.
